>>The violations occurred both before and after the new infractions process. Because the violations mostly occurred after the implementation of the new process, the panel used the Division I infractions penalty guidelines approved by the membership in 2013 for a Level II case:
- Public reprimand and censure for the university.
- Two years of probation from Sept. 22, 2017, through Sept. 21, 2019.
- A one-year show-cause period for the former head coach from Sept. 22, 2017, through Sept. 21, 2018. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him must show cause why he should not have restrictions on athletically related activity.
- A three-game suspension for the former head coach during the 2015 football season (self-imposed by the university).
- A one-year show-cause period for the former assistant coach from Sept. 22, 2017, through Sept. 21, 2018. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him must restrict him from all off-campus recruiting activities.
- A reduction in the number of off-campus recruiting days by a total of 10 during 2017-18, with five days in the fall evaluation period and five in the spring evaluation period (self-imposed by the university).
- A limit of 36 football official visits during 2017-18, a reduction of four from the average number of visits used during the four most recent years and 26 fewer than permitted by NCAA rules (self-imposed by the university).
- A prohibition of phone calls, social media contact and written correspondence with prospects for a one-week period during 2017-18 (self-imposed by the university).
- A $5,000 fine (self-imposed by the university).<<
